Nice tree @Aeast! This thread is going to be a year ahead of my first collections, with several being large hawthorns, so to be able to follow your development with this one will be very interesting and educational. Very exciting.
A question for the experienced folk (@Leo in N E Illinois, @Tieball, @Mike Hennigan etc) The wood thats now a year old on this tree will have hardened off substantially and will be difficult to bend at branch unions to an angle anywhere near horizontal at a point close to the trunk. So how can this be combatted to give a realistic aesthetic in the future without the up, down sort of movement?
